If you are looking for a fun new way to enjoy the flavor of stuffed mushrooms, you are in the right place. This creamy dip is easier to make and just as satisfying.

One of my family’s all-time favorite appetizers is sausage stuffed mushrooms. They make an appearance at holidays, birthday parties, and more.

In fact, my cousin won our family appetizer cooking competition with them. So, to say we love them is probably an understatement.

Stuffed mushroom dip ingredients including browned sausage, sliced mushrooms, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, and garlic salt.

But we generally need a double batch if we are all going to be around. And stuffing all of those mushrooms can start to feel like a chore after a while.

This dip gives you all of that flavor without having to actually stuff the mushrooms. Now that is my kind of cooking!

Making the Dip

The ingredient list for this dip is pretty similar to what we use for the mushrooms. I did add a little bit of sour cream to make sure there was plenty of creaminess to coat the mushrooms as well as the sausage.

There is also shredded mozzarella mixed in to hold it all together. Another handful of cheese goes on top so it can get that browned cheese goodness.

We like using bulk Italian sausage. However, breakfast sausage or whatever bulk sausage you like best would work.

Go ahead and brown it in a big oven safe skillet to keep the dirty dishes to a minimum. I like using a 10-12 inch cast iron skillet or my 3.5 quart enameled braiser.

However, any oven safe skillet that is large enough to hold everything will work. Once the sausage is cooked through, add the sliced mushrooms and cook to your desired level of tenderness.

What kind of mushrooms do you use for this dip?

I like using sliced button mushrooms or baby portabellas. You can use whatever kind of mushrooms you like best.

In a pinch, you could even drain a few cans of mushrooms and add them. Just try to get as much liquid out as possible before incorporating them.

Serving Your Dip

We like using crackers because they are always in our pantry. However sliced baguette is another wonderful option. Pita chips or any other sturdy dipper would work as well.
